Définition :
Chirurgie qui consiste à retirer les tissus et glandes mammaires et l'excédent de peau de manière à créer un torse d'apparence masculine dans le cadre d'une transition femme vers homme.
Notes :
La technique chirurgicale employée varie selon la morphologie du thorax, la taille initiale de la poitrine, l'élasticité de la peau, l'importance de l'excès cutané, les dimensions et la position de la plaque aréolo-mamelonnaire. Il peut être nécessaire de procéder à la réduction de l'aréole mamelonnaire et à son repositionnement, notamment lorsque la poitrine est très volumineuse.
L'hormonothérapie masculinisante modifie la forme du thorax par son action sur la musculature, mais a peu d'effet sur la réduction du volume mammaire, ce que vient corriger la mastectomie.

These terms (masculinization of the torso, masculinizing top surgery, FTM top surgery, transmasculine top surgery) are used in texts that are intended for the general public.
When the term top surgery is used without a classifying adjective as masculinizing and transmasculine, it can also designate the feminizing breast augmentation. Moreover, top surgery sometimes refers to mastectomy in the common language. To be more precise with this term, it is preferable to use a classifying adjective.
These terms (chest surgery, chest reconstruction, chest reconstructive surgery, male chest reconstruction) are not reserved to sexual reassignment surgery. However, they are accepted as synonyms for the preferred terms when the context makes it clear that it is for such intervention. In order to avoid any ambiguity, it is a better choice to use one of the preferred terms.
